If your business regularly ships parcels or freight of various sizes — and you’re on a tariff that charges based on both weight and dimensions — then you may be overpaying without even realising it. Fortunately, there’s a technology that captures parcel measurements quickly and with complete accuracy: dimensioning systems.

These smart tools combine precision weighing platforms with 3D cameras or ultrasonic sensors to record parcel size and weight in less than a second.

Did you know??? 

According to Cyzerg, manually measuring cargo and entering data into a WMS can take between 40 to 55 seconds per item. In comparison, our dimensioning systems scan parcels in under one second — dramatically speeding up the process.

Cubetape reports that companies implementing automated dimensioning systems have achieved shipping cost savings of up to 30%.

Businesses also benefit from better warehouse space usage. With more accurate measurements, companies have freed up to 20% of their storage space — enabling them to increase stock levels without the need for expansion.

Save Money

According to a survey undertaken by Cubetape, companies who invest in dimensioning systems reduce their shipping costs by 30%. 

Operational Efficiency 

Cyzerg report that manually measuring cargo and entering that information into a WMS or ERP system can take up to 40 – 55 seconds per item.  As dimensioning systems can easily be set up to work with your existing ERP system and scan in under one second, it dramatically frees up your operators time. 

Maximise Warehouse Space 

Some companies report that they have been able to save up 20% of their storage space by using dimensioning systems to help plan their layout.  This has enabled them to increase stock levels without the need for expansion.
